MATH 0300 - Discrete Mathematics with Proofs

Credits: 3

An introduction to advanced mathematical thought and the communication of mathematical arguments with an emphasis on discrete mathematics. Content of topics will include logic, set theory, Boolean algebra, relations, recursion, modular arithmetic, and graphs. Additional topics in discrete and continuous mathematics may include group theory, topology of the real numbers, complex functions, and numerical methods. Students will develop proof-writing skills by regularly writing, analyzing, and editing mathematical proofs. As part of analyzing proofs, students will explore the pros and cons of rigorous proof syntax and the possible exclusionary effects of traditional mathematical writing.

Pre/co-requisite: MATH 0106.
